According to The Sydney Morning Herald, retired Bishop of Edinburgh, Richard Holloway, is in fact an Agnostic. Holloway believes that since the Anglican Church has widened the tent enough to include Catholics, female clergy, openly gay priests and others that there is room for people like him, "Christians who don't believe in God."The article says " Holloway, contrary to popular belief, has not left the Episcopal Church, as Scottish Anglicanism is known. He may have taken early retirement as Bishop of Edinburgh but the writer remains an ordained priest and consecrated bishop, who still preaches from the pulpit, performs baptisms and weddings and even presides at communion."
The piece also notes, "Holloway has abandoned his belief in - or at least certainty about - God and the afterlife, and is now known as a 'Christian agnostic'."
